V This invention relates to improvements in r j' mirrors, and partlcularly to a hand n11rror,

f the handle of which can be used as a support for the mirror allowing its use as a stand' --It is the principal object of our invention to connect handle and mirror frame in such manner that. by simple manipulations the handle can be set at an angle of 90 to the mir- I ror frame proper so as to form a firm support for the mirror if it is to be used as a stand mirror.

Another object of our invention-is the pro- V 18] to conform to the s'hapeof the lowerend' of themi'rr'or proper, t'li'e re'cess 131 is e 5 formed by-twoupwardly directefdeand later- -ally inclined extensions 14, forming su porting 'ifeet if the mir-ror is fused as a'stand vision of a mirror which may be used with -equal facility'as handand standrnirror and is of simple and therefore comparativelyinexpensive construction yet durable and effi cient in operation. I 1 p With these objects in view our mirror comprises "a mirror proper and its frame .to the lower end of which longitudinally slotted prongs are attached and into the slots of j which engage longitudinally slottedbars projecting from the upper recessed handle part,

' said pron-gs andbars being'arrangedat an I angle oi 90 to each other and pins on the prongs about which the bars of the handle are pivoted limit the outward extensible movement of the handle while the outer faces of the handle extensions which form the aforementioned'recess therebetween, act as supports for the mirror when the handle is p used as a stand for the mirror.

I Further objects and advantages of our inQ 0 vention will become more fully known as the 7 description thereof proceeds, and willthen be specifically defined'in the appended claims.

As illustrated, the iinifrorconstructedi-a'c- J cording to -0111: "invention comprises the usual frame "10 in; which the glass 11 is set in the usualwell' known manner, andjwvhich maybe mad of cellul'oid' 'er other suitable in aterial ornamented or plain 'andcolo're'd to suit. I Ahandle 12 is provided of any convenient g V suitable shape; The handle has its upper'end recessed as at A cross-bar in handle "12 {has attached thereto the heads 17 at the lower ends of two upwardly di ected bars 18' and 119,- matey and longitudinally slotted asiat-20 the upper ends of whichare pivotally.'connectedfby.

means of cross-pins between the open lower ends of two prongs 22,1 23, slotted in The upper ends of prongs 22, '23,- are ses01 cured-in the mirror frame lO'to' a cross bar '25 therein.

The operatlon of our device will be entirely I i' the abOV Q description and by. I

simultaneous inspection of the drawing and it will be evident -that an inwardly directed movement of handle 12 5 from the 1 position I shownfin'Figure 4 will displace pins 21in .f

slots 20 till'theyreach'the lower ends of these rslots,,and will bring telescope bars 18, 19i'nto 9c slots2l of prongs 22, 23, until the extensions 14, 15 of the handle will firmly engagethe lowerend of themirror'fraine '10 so' as tofhold handle andmirror in alignment and :to en- If it"is now desiredto use the mirror as a 1' stand mirror, an outwardlydirected pullon handle 12 will bring theparts into the positionshowirinFigure 4 so that now the handle I can be turned at an 'aing'le er 90 to the mir- 2 a; o b 1,792,127

" @ror p roper abo'ut pins 21 to assume the position illustrated inFigures 3, 5,,and'6,--i n' which the extensions 14,16: act as feet and engage with their flat front faces a support 5 suchasa table and firmly support the m'irror as a stand mirror.

It will be understood thatmwehavedes scribed and shown the preferred form of our device as one example only of the many po s- V sible ways to practically construct the same, and that wemay make suchcha-ngesin its construction as come within the scope-of the f appended claims without departure from our" invention. Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by l Letters Patent is: J I; .1. In a combination hand and stand mirror,- a frame for the mirror glass having a lower restricted end, a handle,.=outward flaring extensions on the upper endof said handle forming a-frecess for the reception of the lower endlofsaid m me, slotted L:

, prongs'projecting from the lower end of said frame, inner heads thereon, and atransverse 7 pin in said frame for holding said heads in: i a I place, slotted bars projecting from the recess of saidhandle, heads onthe inner ends of V r said bars, andfla second transverse pin in said I handle to whichthe headslofrsaid bars are a attached, pivot pins in the prongs, of the frame,said pivot pins adapted to slide in'the slots of said bars and allowing an engagement of mirror frame and handle for use of the mirror as 'a hand mirror and a limited disengagement for-allowing the turning, of the handle at an angle to said frame for acting in conjunction with said handle exten sions and support for allowing the use of the mirror as a stand mirror.

.c 2. In a combination hand mirror and stand ,mirror, a connection between handle and frame comprising a pair of slotted prongs at v the lower end of said frame, a pairof slotted bars at the ,upp'erend of said-handle, the slots in said prongs and the slots in said bars being at an angle of 90 to each other, pins on said prongs to which are pivoted the outer ends of said'bars, said pins-being adapted to a slidein the slotsof said bars, said bars sliding t in -the slots of frame prongswhen the handle 1s'n1oved 1nto snug engagement with SH-1d frame, said barsalso l mitingthe rout- 7 ward movement of said handleand allowing turning of the sameat 'anangle to said mirrorr. frame 'and extensions on said handle acting as su'pportlof them'irror with the "handleiin angular position to the frame if the mirror isto bel'used as a stand mirror. v
